Dd Form 454 PDF Details

The DD Form 454, also known as the Warrant of Attachment for a Court-Martial of the United States, serves as a crucial document within the military justice system. This form is invoked under specific circumstances where an individual has either willfully neglected or refused to appear before a court-martial after being duly subpoenaed, or has failed to produce documentary evidence as required by the subpoena. It outlines a legal authority granted to a military judge or convening authority, under Article 46 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 USC 846), to command the apprehension and attachment of the individual in question, to ensure their appearance at the court-martial. This document provides the necessary procedural steps to enforce compliance with court-martial subpoenas, ensuring that necessary and material witnesses or evidence are available to contribute to the judicial process. It is a testament to the seriousness with which the military justice system treats compliance with legal processes, and highlights the balance between the rights of the individual and the requirements of military law and order.
